Day Hiking
Get out there and find your adventure!
Throughout my travels, I’ve laced up my hiking shoes for long trails, short trails, and many National Scenic Trails. The majority of the blog posts on this page cover short day hikes I’ve really enjoyed and hope inspire others to get outdoors.
Some of these posts include a list of local hikes near a specific area – like Taos, New Mexico or Acadia National Park in Maine. But the majority of them are just fun day hikes in scenic places.
If you’re more interested in reading about what it’s like to thru-hike a long distance trail, check out my trail journals of the Appalachian Trail, Oregon Coast Trail, Arizona Trail, and more.
